Greetings Dear Ones! I am Charonda Gardner (she/her), Holistic Integrative Therapist and owner of Embracing Hope Counseling and Consulting. With 10+ years of experience as a therapist and MANY more years of life experience, I have developed a deep passion for connecting with and supporting others as they make the journey back home to themselves. I am trained in CBT, EMDR, and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. As a Holistic Therapist, I also incorporate mindfulness and EFT practices into work with clients. My main areas of focus include Spiritual Integration for Empaths and HSPs, Chronic Self-Abandonment, Stress/Anxiety, Depression, Issues Stemming from Family of Origin, Emotional Trauma & Neglect. I hold the wholehearted belief that we each already have the tools needed to meet our highest potential but may have forgotten how to connect to our inner source of wisdom. Allow me to partner with and guide you on your journey of reconnecting, expanding and evolving!
